Wow, I didn't think this would come out good at all since I rushed to get it colored! I was a bum and filled in the background with watercolors. I haven't used those in YEARS so I am quite ecstatic! Arashiko herself was colored with Prismacolor Pencils. I tried a new armor design for her as well. This is perhaps a set of armor she would use later after becoming more powerful. She would not require those cumbersome shoulder guards. I noticed Vegeta downgraded to blue duds after he got a bit more powerful^)!<br>
<br>
For those who don't know, Arashiko is a Saiyan Royal bodyguard from my DBZ fanfiction, <b>Child of the Storm</b>. <b><i>**subliminal messaging GO READ IT NOW !***</i></b><br>
<br>
<b>NAMECKIAN FIGHTING STYLE:</b> (An explanation of Arashiko's fighting style for the curious) While marooned on Nameck, Arashiko befriends Nail, who in turn teaches her the Nameckian Art of War, including use of armed and unarmed combat. The hands are held open with tensed positions, which aides those with claws in combat because they are extended by the motion, especially in a Nameckian's case. They are also open to allow the use of ki formation as open hands allow one to manipulate energy more easily than closed fists. The feet are spread to provide a center of balance that is not easily toppled. One using this style would be more calculating in their attacks as the stance does not allow for quick movements. Quick, debilitating strikes are used on vital areas to defeat an opponent. One acts as a reaction to their opponent, much like classical kung-fu.<br>
<br>
<b>SAIYAN FIGHTING STYLE:</b>-Naturally as a Saiyan Arashiko first learned this during her training as an Elite First Class citizen during her childhood in a military training facility. The Saiyan fighting style is close-handed with the hands normally fisted to allow for bludgeoning attacks. This style relies on inflicting the most amount of pain to the most receptive parts of the body, such as the head, the spinal column, and chest. Occasionally, one hand might be left open in defense, or to cast an energy attack to surprise an opponent.<br>
<br>
All-together, Arashiko mainly employs the Nameckian fighting techniques, but is not above taking out an opponent quickly and painfully, should they prove more trouble than their worth. I formulated this information by watching too much DBZ and NONE OF IT is official, just stuff I've deduced from watching the show.

She's a little skinny for me, especially since she's also muscular, but I still love this picture. I'm impressed.

The character and background are drawn and coloured great, and I LOVE the Saiyan armor design. It's unique, but still looks like Saiyan armor. Awesome.

As someone who possibly loves the show as much as you do- you can never watch too much DBZ. DB GT on the other hand.... ^__^;

I love this. The background looks just awesome, to say the least of Arashiko. I love the shading and highlights on her outfit. And that you've used your own style is great- I love to see more realistic versions of DBZ characters, cannon and created. Excellent drawing.

Oh WOW! Finally, someone who can make a Saiya-jin woman looked female! Seriously, a lot that I've seen make them look like gender confused people. See, you made her look feminine yet powerful at the same time. Kudos to you *bows before artist*<br />
